Voices of Transformation
I have been suffering from severe dry eye symptoms, with shedding tears, for more than three years. So I have been seeing the eye specialist since last December. When I attended the Redemption Squad Discipleship Training on September 26, 2025, Zach and Melissa prayed for me for the healing of my dry eyes. From that moment on, my eyes have been healed. Praise the LORD God Almighty! He is so good, and His love endures forever.

“God used Redemption Squad Ministry to help heal and set me free from years of torment and mental torture from the enemy. All glory be to God .”

“I was completely delivered from fear. I used to have debilitating fear of so many things, but one especially was the fear of riding in the car as a passenger with my husband. Not only can I ride with him now, I actually prefer it. The first ride I took with him after deliverance, the song ‘No Fear’ by John Reddick came on the radio. I am now a person of peace without fear. I am FREE!

Provision Box Miracle: Danene's Story
I was absolutely grateful for the support and help that I received from Redemption Squad Ministry. It was during a time when my children and I were struggling to find money to eat and to have gas for me to get back and forth from work. I was worried that the new home we just rented would be taken away because we would not be able to afford it. I skipped many meals so my children could eat. I was glorified by the gracious love from God when He brought Redemption Squad to our home with food, toilet paper, and a gas card for me to work and attend church. It just proves that if you truly trust, He will always come through!
Restored: Destiny's New Life
When I first met Redemption Squad Ministry, I was in a very dark place in my life. Zach and Melissa came into my life during a time when I felt lost, broken, and without direction.
They showed me kindness without judgment and helped open my eyes to the truth of God’s love and grace. Although I eventually drifted away and lost my way again, the seeds they planted never fully left my heart.
Years later, during what was honestly the darkest season of my life, I received a flyer for an event hosted by Redemption Squad Ministry at the community center. I decided to
go, and that decision changed my life. Through the support, encouragement, and faith-filled environment they created, I began rebuilding my relationship with God and getting
my life back on track.
Today, my family has been restored, we attend church regularly, participate in church events and groups, and I have grown closer to God than ever before. Redemption Squad Ministry helped remind me that no matter how far you fall, God never stops reaching for you. I am incredibly thankful for the impact they have had on my life and my
family.
New Beginning: Lauren's Experience
Before I found Redemption Squad Ministry, I was in a place of total darkness–struggling with depression, anxiety, and even worse, an addiction after my children and I watched their father be killed. I cannot tell you how many churches I have attended not only trying to seek the Word of God but trying to find a family and purpose. Yet, it just felt as if society and God had given up on me. It wasn’t until December 2025, when I came to
Radiant Church for the first time with my children for the Redemption Squad Ministry Home for the Holiday’s Event at Christmas time. This is when things changed. Because life was so hard, I could not afford to buy gifts for my children. But at this event they
received gifts and when Zach got up to preach, he also shared his testimony. In my head, I said, “He was just as broken as I am!” It was then when Redemption Squad Ministry reached into the darkness and reminded me that I am loved, seen and I am never beyond saving. The family that I have found here is proof that grace is real and
that my purpose is greater than my past. Thank you to Redemption Squad Ministry for restoring my faith and hope in the Lord and for showing me that no matter how far I wandered, His grace was always enough to bring me back home!!
How a Box of Groceries Saved My Life
One year ago today I was at the end of my rope. Crying in my car on the way home from work, I was done with everything and was absolutely letting God know it. Out of food at home with no money and no community, I felt truly desperate. I had been struggling with all my might to get my head back above water, but now I was out of air.
I was alone. I was exhausted. I was hungry.
I remember telling God through my tears that I was finally done and ready to sink to the bottom…but out of sight Jesus was already reaching for me. I came home to find a box of groceries on my doorstep with an invitation to church. His hand reached through the waves and pulled me out. The point of this is to say that at the end of yourself, transformation can begin. Healing starts when you come to the Healer, wounds and all. He’s waiting for you to give up…so He can pull you into His arms.

Back To School Bash with Turman Elementary School
Dear RSM,
On behalf of the students, staff and families of Turman Elementary School, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your incredible generosity at our Back to School Bash. Your donation of food, clothing, and shoes ensured that our students started the year with their basic needs met and the confidence to walk into school prepared and supported.
For many families, these resources provided peace of mind and lifted burdens, allowing them to focus on a positive start to the school year. The joy on the faces of our students as they selected items that were just right for them was a powerful reminder of the difference your ministry makes in the lives of children.
We are also deeply thankful for the thoughtful gift cards you provided to our staff. Your kindness reminded our teachers and team members that their dedication is seen and appreciated. It gave them not only practical support but also a sense of encouragement as they entered a new school year.
Your commitment to serving families and educators in our community reflects the true spirit of compassion and partnership. Because of your generosity, our Back to School Bash was not only a celebration, but also a blessing to everyone who attended.
Thank you again for your continued support and for making such a meaningful impact on both of our students and staff.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Jana Thomas
Principal of Turman Elementary
Mesha's Healing
Just before Valentine’s Day of 2025, I had what I thought was an eczema flare up. I ended up going to urgent care since it seemed to worsen over the next couple of days. The doctor and nurses immediately told me that it was shingles. By that time the nerve pain was getting really bad. My back and left arm would throb at the slightest touch. The doctor prescribed some medicine. I took it and I prayed for healing.
My answer to prayers came the evening of the first RSM LifeLine Event about two weeks later. I was so excited for what God would do for the people who would come despite still being in pain. I prayed that the people would come and have a personal encounter with God.
Melissa and I lead worship at the beginning of the night, and I sensed God telling me to add another song to sing afterward. I added “Holy Spirit” and before I knew it Zach asked if we could sing another song. Melissa encouraged me to lead the song, and I did. It was such a sweet time of worship, surrender and welcoming God’s presence to fill the room and move. God healed me in that time of seeking Him.
Praise the Lord, I don’t have residual nerve pain or scarring! God completely healed my body of shingles!
